About+this+wikifolio

The creation of this wiki has arisen from requests from teachers not from our school who wish to see how we are using wikis as individual digital portfolios for our students. About this space: In 2007 all students from Years 5 to Year 8 have created their own personal wikispace. Students in **Grade 5 & 6** created their digital portfolio using MS Powerpoint. They used their wikispace as a personal online space as a repository for pictures, thoughts and ideas and to communicate via their wiki email with their friends. This opportunity to play in the wiki environment has ensured that when they use their space as a portfolio they will know much of the editing side. Students in **Year 7& 8** were required to create a space that would become their wikifolio for 2007. These were originally set up in early 2007 during Information Technology classes. Students were required to register via the wikispaces for teachers section which ensured that all students could create a private space. They were also required to invite their teachers to their space so that teachers could see what was being added and give comment and support.

 This site contains //**two digital portfolio**//s which are compilations of students' work taken from their real digital portfolios created in 2007. The purpose of this **//rose0001 wikifolio//** is to show examples that are **credible** and **authentic** but which protect the identities of students in our school. Written examples are authentic but names and other identifying features have been changed. Photographs are posted with the permission of students and their parents but names are also changed. It is important to note that all of our student's **real wikifolios** are set to **private**. This means that only **students**, their **teachers** their **parents** and selected **friends** can see their particular wikifolio.
